6th Grade/ Maps!

It could help them know where the hidden places are.

If me and my family were going to paris we would know where to go.

Maps can help them by showing them where they might be if u find people who had died years ago and see what they used items near that person. We should show people to give maps to there family members so when they die another person in the family passes it on to the next and so on so they know

1) It shows secret locations and places so they can find artifacts.
2) We could use maps to plan because we could use them for planning a building or a structure like a blueprint type thing.

Historians use maps to find places where remains from a body of a person that lived a long time ago so for example you could go to the desert you might find a body or 2 because that desert could of been an ocean and people from the past could of thrown a dead body in the ocean.
we can use a map to plan for the future like for a family vacation we are going to do in the future
